Daventry, Market town in West Northamptonshire, England.
The town stretches across multiple elevations, ranging from 110 to 210 meters above sea level, with Borough Hill rising prominently to the east.
Borough Hill contains archaeological evidence of human settlement, including two Bronze Age burial mounds and two Iron Age hill forts dating back to prehistoric times.
The twice-weekly market on High Street continues a tradition spanning seven centuries, offering local produce, meats, breads, clothing, and household items every Tuesday and Friday.
Daventry sits 75 miles northwest of London via M1 motorway, positioning it strategically between Northampton, Rugby, and major distribution networks including DIRFT.
The BBC established a significant radio transmitting station on Borough Hill in 1925, making Daventry an international broadcasting center for the British Empire Service.
